“اشتباه از ما بود
اشتباه از ما بود که خواب سرچشمه را در خیال پیاله می دیدیم
دستهامان خالی

حالا مهم نیست که تشنه به رویای آب می میریم
از خانه که می آئی
یک دستمال سفید، پاکتی سیگار، گزینه شعر فروغ
و تحملی طولانی بیاور
احتمال گریستن ما بسیار است”

بحث کردن با آدمها بیفایده است.”

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“As a teenager I clearly remember mornings when I was getting ready for school when something would -just still me- and
I would lean forward and peer very intensely into the eyes of the girl in that mirror.
who is that? I didn't know . I looked into those eyes as if they had the answer to who I am
or who I could be."
So I would search the depths of those green and blue flecked eyes.
Calmly searching the eyes of this stranger as if I thought that if I looked deep enough, or long enough, I would find the answer to why I was even here.
I didn't know what I know now.
That I could only find out my identity,
who I was
when I stopped looking into my own eyes
and instead searched in the eyes of Jesus. Only He could REALLY tell me who I am. Who I can be. Who I will be...”
